I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

View allI'm a bit concerned after my recent tests. My Echo and TMT came back normal when it comes to signs of a heart attack, but my cardiologist mentioned that my heart rate recovery was really slow after stopping the treadmill. This has me worried because I had some chest discomfort the day before the TMT. They prescribed me Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5 for two weeks and want me to come back after that. Should I be worried about these results? What could this slow heart rate recovery mean for me?
The slow heart rate recovery after exercise can be a concern and may indicate a potential issue with your cardiovascular health. The medications prescribed to you, Ecospirin AV 7520 and Corbis 5, are commonly used to manage heart conditions. You should take Ecospirin AV 7520 once daily and Corbis 5 as prescribed by your doctor. These medications can help improve blood flow and regulate your heart rate. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.

Is cheese bad for your heart?
While cheese contains some nutrients that are beneficial to health â such as calcium, zinc, and vitamins A and B-12 â it is also high in saturated fats, which can increase cholesterol levels and raise the risk of heart disease and stroke.
